Ok, and how do you switch from one mode to the other, how many cycles does that take, can I change every line, multiple time per scanline, etc... without generating snow or effects like that? Or should that be just on a per-frame thing? Ha-ha, this starts to be crazy even for me ;) WIP source here:...

But let's go back to the PSU :)... Previously I've posted in this thread picture of my Oric+Microdisc PSU in bad condition. And here is my Telestrat PSU in even worse condition: psu1.jpg Unfortunately I've got it as in the picture - all wires are cut, the transformer is in rust and what can't be see...

For the audio - it's OK, both options are easy but what type of connectors do you need, so I can prepare them? I think the pseudo-code formulas to describe the mix are: Direct connect: - Fast mode: Ro = RI0 or RI1 or RI2 or RI3 Go = GI0 or GI1 or GI2 or GI3 Bo = BI0 or BI1 or BI2 or BI3 - Low color ...

... а transparent case, with some blinking things Yep, just like Blake's Orac :). So, two questions: - What did you finally came up with for the soundchips: Mono, Stereo (and if Stereo, how is it split?) - What are the video mixing algorithms you have implemented All 4 sound output are "as is" - st...

OricExos-preview.jpg OricExos with extensions, PAL encoder board and cumulus - everything works! As you can see the PAL encoder board has Composite, S-Video and RGB outputs. The signal amplitude from the RGB output is bit low, so I have to add an extra video amplifier - AD8013. This was the last ch...

I'm still not familiar with the Novalight code - it's complex and requires lot concentration. But this 7 bytes should be needed only if the next part starts with the standard header, right? I'm not sure but maybe it makes sense to have a kind of synchronization between parts... and 7 bytes are not s...

Check the cable from RCA to the 1084 monitor, check the switch on the 1084's back (if any) - is it in correct position? Check again if the switch makes good connection in both positions - measure the resistance between the middle pin and the other two. BTW, check the resistance between the left and ...

Great piece of software, Symoon, I really can't imagine how many time and effort you put in Novalight but it's worth! Chapeau bas! ;) The source compiles fine under Linux with GCC (just 2-3 harmless warning - no problem at all) and the tool works nice. I spotted just one thing which seams like bug: ...

Absolutely incredible work! Congratulation, Symoon!
Thanks for all your effort in pushing CLOAD to the limits.
Releasing sources and the well documented details makes Novalight huge event in this small Oric world!

Nice article! Unfortunately the bad scan quality is not the only problem :? You can see in lines 170 and 800 the '!'-vector is pointed to address 40396 i.e. 170 DOKE #2F5,40396 but 40396 = #9DCC and this is jump in the middle of instruction: $9DCB 85 A7 STA $A7 I think the correct entry point should...

A short story with happy-end from today: The main reason to delay TapOric's first release was actually the fact that I've had problems to make it work with one particular device: Asus Zenphone 4. I made hundreds tests but loading always failed with errors. Last week I started again to try to fix the...
